well guys it finally happened. Besides the rad failure my truck has not been down since i got it. i never said it out loud for fear of jinxing myself but i haven't had to do anything to my truck that i didn't want to its been really reliable.well today i was talking to my mother about her having to spend $2200 getting her 09 f250 back on the road so i made that very comment boasting about how great my truck has treated me. I'm sure you get where this is going.

took a short trip cut even shorter once i realized i was spewing white smoke out the tailpipe. i was able to turn around and head home. truck was running fine both on the way and once i got home in the driveway. i shut it down and inspected the engine no leaks i could see with a flashlight. turned it on, it idled fine but still smoke. then i notice oil on the underside of the hood coming from the blow off valve. i got under the truck and there is oil leaking out of the downpipe. i wasn't paying attention when i was driving because i was in a panic if i could hear the turbo spooling or not. i did notice my egts kept going to 900 or driving at 45. i don't want to lean you guys in any direction but i think it maybe a blown turbo??

what do you think

 

I'd say not enough information yet to fully determine, but I think you are right to start at the turbo. It almost sounds as if there leak at the oil fittings???

 

i had a chance to look around.
first off when this was happening my oil pressure was steady at 75psi vs 40-50psi at highway speeds and 25-30 idling. it is possible my gauge was not correct as my egt gauge from the same manufacturer sometimes messes up when its cold outside.however, i took off my intake to have a look at the compressor wheel and there is a pool of oil siting there.

 

I say turbo.

 

ill add that i can hear a sizzling type sound coming from the turbo after the engine shuts down if i stick my ear to the intake filter

 

Sounds like a bad seal. Any screeching or howling? Assuming you got it from Morgan at Midwest?

 

it doesn't sound bad but something is defiantly not right with the way it sounds. the wheel spins free from what i can tell. and yes i did get it from midwest

 

I'm thinking a bad seal as well

 

What ended up being the problem??

Just curious.

 

Pretty sure an internal seal blew out. I ordered a new turbo and I'm replacing the intercooler with one from no limit since it's got oil in it. I'll update next week after I take the current turbo out.
